Music & Musical Monday: Tears In Heaven (Eric Clapton)


Thanks for the upload aspirinsmoke



There were a lot of songs coming to my mind for heartbreak, but here's my choice this week for Music & Musical Monday: Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton. This is a Wikipedia link where you can read the story behind his touching song. Did you know that it was a way to release Eric's pain on his 4 year old son's death?

I'm wishing you all a lot of joy and blessings in life, but whenever there might be a reason that brings you down: just remember Eric's advice to be strong and carry on!

    Rosidah, this is one song that I simply can't listen to without crying. It might not be quite so bad if I didn't know the story behind it but because I do, it makes me cry every time I hear it. Great choice!

    Perfect song for Heartbreak. Amazing Clapton could write and sing such a beautiful song out of such a terrible tragedy.

    This is a beautiful song Rosidah, wish I'd known there were themes at Musical Mondays. I'll try to check it out later and see what's the theme for next week.

    Rosidah, I remember when this came out, such a tragic and inspiring at-the-same-time story. I have to say his hair cut threw me I almost didn't recognize him at first! Fantastic pick!

    Hi Rosidah, That is a very sad song... I had a friend many years ago who loved Eric Clapton --and told me about ALL of his songs including this one. It's a tear-jerker for sure.

    Hugs,
    Betsy
